Leave all that negative nonsense behind.

Longboard.

I first got my longboard because my bike tire was slashed by some demonfromhellasshole one afternoon. Not only did I have a flat tire, I then had an agonizingly slow walk home in the 100 degree heat. Thank you very much, demonfromhellasshole.

Anyway, that was a awhile ago but it was the reason I went shopping for my first longboard. “Bros” at ASU are the most well-known for riding longboards on campus. I always scoffed at these idiots who rebelled against the more convenient and quick bicycle. But then I thought of the females I would see riding longboards. I had a different opinion about them. They stand out because they are few. And they look fierce sailing by on their pintails. And because these chics look so gosh darn badass (and because I was on a very tight budget) I bought a longboard instead of a new bike. Best decision EVER.

Longboards are not only smooth and quick, they are fun as hell. I would take my longboard out to the lake and just cruise along as the sun dipped below the horizon. I would feel the wind in my hair, my muscles tightening and then releasing with each push. It was fantastic. And I miss it.

I need a new longboard. Now.
